In 622 AD, the Li Tang Dynasty had just been born, the situation was unstable, the Qin king Li Shimin had just defeated Liu Heimin in Hebei, the battlefield had not yet been cleaned up, Li Yuan suddenly made a paper petition, recalled Li Shimin to Chang'an, he personally went out of the city to greet, full of smiles, for his son Li Shimin to take the wind and dust, Li Yuan seemed to welcome Li Shimin, in fact, he could not wait to take back this trump card, because Li Shimin was too strong.
Li Shimin knew better than anyone else about his father's jealousy, and he had just conquered more than ten cities in Henan.
However, just on the way back to the dynasty by Li Shimin's class, Liu Heimin borrowed troops from the Turks and made a comeback. Li Yuan really did not want to invite Li Shimin out of the literary museum of playing strings and poetry, so he appointed Li Daoxuan, the 19-year-old king of Huaiyang, to go on a campaign.
Li Yuan's intention in doing so was that he wanted to cultivate the rising stars of the clan as much as possible, so that they could get experience on the battlefield, and at the same time, he also formed a certain check and balance on Li Shimin, and could not give all the opportunities to Li Shimin.
Li Daoxue had 30,000 troops, which was a great advantage in terms of troop strength, but it was not long before he was killed at the hands of Liu Heimin.
Why? In fact, the problem is still in Li Yuan himself. He wanted the young Li Daoxuan to serve as the manager to train, which was not wrong, and at the same time, he also let the old general Wanbao in the battlefield serve as Li Daoxuan's deputy, but Shi Wanbao and Li Daoxuan themselves did not deal with each other.
How could Shi Wanbao, who had experienced hundreds of battles, put the young, stinking hairy boy Li Daoxuan in his eyes.
As soon as the battle began, Li Daoxuan, who was greedy and aggressive, took the lead in attacking, and he asked Shi Wanbao to lead a large army to follow up, but when he personally led his troops into the enemy camp, Shi Wanbao did not move.
His subordinates saw that Shi Wanbao did not move at all, and they persuaded one after another, but who knew that Shi Wanbao had a schadenfreude expression and said: The emperor said that the king of Huaiyang is just a doll, and all the large armies listen to my actions, we may as well use the king of Huaiyang as a bait, and when he is defeated, the thieves attack, and we are waiting in a strict position.
Poor Li Daoxuan and a few young soldiers drowned in the enemy camp like this, and the soldiers next to him were also very cold to see.
After receiving the news of Li Daoxuan's defeat and death, Li Shimin felt very sorry, and at the same time, Li Daoxuan's defeat was also a very heavy blow to the entire Tang army, and after that, Li Yao, the king of Lujiang, also abandoned the city and fled, and from then on, li Shimin's hard-earned Jiangshan and the fruits of victory were also wasted.
In fact, all this is due to Li Yuan, who was self-conscious, distrust and doubtful of his son, and let the achievements before the victory be abandoned.
Therefore, a person's mind and strength are very important, especially as a leader, Li Yuan is wary of Li Shimin everywhere, deeply afraid that he has done a great job and covered himself, but once the battlefield is dangerous, he has to rely on Li Shimin.
Moreover, Li Shimin is still his own son, and he has a defensive heart for his son, it seems that the struggle for power in the ancient world was so fierce, it is no wonder that there will be a change in Xuanwumen later, which cannot put all the responsibility on Li Shimin!
